Not Too Bad

The weigh-in went better than expected. I'll leave the suspense until Laura's article comes out, but I did not gain which was my fear. One month to go and I will be hard pressed to hit the 33lb loss goal by then, but as long as I keep trending in the right direxcion, I will be happy.

Felt like I lost an old friend this week when Andy Griffith died. I have every episode on DVD and can recite the majority of the first five seasons line and verse. I have several Andy Griffith Show (ASG) trivia games and Mayberryopoly. Yes, a true Mayberry geek. I have attended the Mayberry festival in Mt. Airy, NC and receive newsletters from The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club. Did I mention I'm a AGS geek? There are not many cast members still alive. I hope to get back to the festival soon while some of the cast is still there. I met Maggie Peterson Mancuso (Charlene Darling) and Richard O. Linke, the Executive Producer at the last festival. George Lindsay (Goober) was there but I didn't meet him directly. Stay well and remember, "Don't pick your peaches before they're fuzzed up good".
